Michael Jordan

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can’t accept not trying”

We have started our new Learning Means The World theme ‘Zero to Hero’ and one of the first people we have looked at is Michael Jordan.  We found out that he was turned away from basketball but because he loved the sport he kept trying and trying until he was successful.  We then decided that we needed to be a bit like Michael and keep trying our best.  We then went outside and tried to shhot some hoops.  We found that we got better the more we practiced.  We then found out that Nike thought he was that inspirational that they named some sports shoes after him! We decided to design our own ‘Air Jordan’s’.

Jolly Jumpers in year 2!

17th October 2025L Chisholm

In our P.E sessions we have been looking at the skill of jumping and that there are many different ways to jump.  We have travelled safely whilst jumping and made up a jumping routine with our friends.  We have even been learning how to do a standing long jump (Olympics team watch this space!). We have a jumping great time.

Amazing animation in year 2

17th October 2025L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme ‘Inter-Nation Media Station’ we have been looking at how tv shows, radio broadcasts and interviews are made.  We have looked at the first radio broadcast and the first tv broadcast that changed from black and white to colour.  We can not quite believe that some of our Teachers were around when there were only 4 TV channels and they had not heard of a remote control! We love learning about how far our technology has come and we decided to have a go at animating our own character and adding a voice to it. We then discussed what technological advances the future may hold ….time machine perhaps?

2 Red’s awesome autumn art!

14th October 2025L Martin

As part of the Four Seasons project, we carried out an investigation to answer ‘Do all trees change colour in Autumn?’  We went on an autumn walk, observing and collected various autumnal objects.   We discovered that some trees are deciduous and some are evergreen. We also learnt that some birds migratre south for the warmer weather.

With the things we collected along the way, we created some artwork inspired by Richard Shilling.   We are really proud of our creations!

Mental health day in 2 blue.

10th October 2025L Chisholm

We celebrated world mental health day by being kind to each other and ourselves.  We discussed the feeling we get when someone is kind or unkind to us then we took part in drawing and designing our own mental health day pictures.
